Over 2 Million km’s of Pipeline Inspection Every Year Limits
Leak Damage

Thermal/Video Leak Detection offers the optimal method to keep pipeline operators informed on the state of their installations. Airborne pioneered the concept of using the efficiency of helicopters along with Video and Thermal Imaging Cameras. This method has been perfected through the millions of kilometers logged in Western Canada every year. Major pipeline companies rely on the accuracy of Thermal/ Video to respond to even minute leaks before they escalate and become problems. Leaks invisible to the naked eye are clearly detected and recorded complete with their exact location. A thorough written report, together with the video record, provide indispensable information on the integrity of pipelines. EUB requirements regarding pipeline “Right-of-Way Inspections” are met and surpassed with facts and documentation provided by Airborne’s Thermal/ Video Leak Detection Inspection Service.

Features:

• Urgent anomalies reported immediately
• Provision of a full, detailed report (surpassing provincial standards) outlining the areas inspected, including photo documentation of anomalies {see reverse for report sample}
• The entire patrol is recorded/correlated to the report and can be delivered on a DVD.

Benefits:

• Temperature variances of 2ºC revealed by thermal imagery - pinpointing possible leaks before they affect production.
• Simultaneous visual inspection detects: possible pipeline leaks, exposed pipe, erosion, vegetation issues, third party activity, missing signs and markers.

Available Platforms:

• Robinson R44
• Bell 206 Jet Ranger
